New defensive scheme will take time to gel

Most people were saying it will take 2 years to shift personnel to transition to a 3-4.  Hurney shortened it by focusing much of the draft and free agency on getting folks for the new scheme.  But who thought they would have it down pat in their first action together?  How long should we need to build chemistry and get everyone on the same page? And who thought it would gel without Luke or Shaq.

Good post.  Everything centers around Luke and Shaq. The front DL is going to be good.  The DE/OLBs are going to be solid.  How often did Allen (Buff) go for TEs or target the player Boston was covering?  Early on, that was the weak spot.  If we get our #1 draft pick LBs involved, part of that problem is no longer a problem.

Luke is the captain of the defense and Shaq is his lieutenant. Without them we got gashed up the middle.

Plus we didn't game plan at all for them where they appeared to game plan for us picking on Carter for example.  So really the point was to give our starters reps together in order to get some film to evaluate. 

The offense was looking at the line play and how we stood up to lots of blitzing. They used Allen and Grier as stand ins rather than risking Cam. 

Special teams was a mixed bag as our kicker shined and the coverage teams struggled.

But we made progress and we have some film on the defensive line and secondary.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
